What do you wish you could do now?

joemunson · September 2015

What do you wish you could do now that you're pregnant to make things easier or more fun for yourself but you can't cuz it's not socially acceptable.
For example, I wish I could use a walker. I'm exhausted just standing usually so a walker would really help me! I even have one from my gramma but I know people would think I'm nuts!

I'm with you. Napping at work for sure.

Drink wine.

kjgalarza · September 2015

I want to quit my job. Which would be okay because my husband makes enough to support us both without me working, but there are like 4 other pregnant women I work with and they're not quitting because they're exhausted so I feel like I have no excuse. Except for the fact that I'm a full-time master's student. That may be an acceptable excuse.

vinerie · September 2015

No question about it--drinking the wine! I actually talked with my doctor about it who told me that wine in moderation was fine. But still...in the U.S. it is SO not socially acceptable!

Ditto. The n/a stuff doesn't cut it.

ShannonSeth · September 2015

Oh my god take a nap. It's impossible now with a toddler.

Yes! Especially the kind with the little flip down seat . . . That would be a god-send when grocery shopping. I used to jog 3 days a week 2 months ago and now I get tired and winded just standing in the shower, let alone walking around a store.

Coffee would be my second choice. Lots of coffee.

lalala2004 · September 2015

Definitely all the alcohol. Wine, beer, margaritas. They all make me happy.

SaraJan2014 · September 2015

Hot yoga!

Tritto. We had dinner with some friends who would know instantly if I didn't order alcohol, and we weren't ready to announce. We got to the restaurant early and asked our server to bring me N/A beer. I was full, bloated and gassy but without the benefit of a buzz. It was THE WORST. :-q

Drink red wine with Olivia Pope

LadySamLady · September 2015

Sleep through the night without waking up to pee.

Also coffee, chocolate, Italian food, and Mexican food without getting terrible heartburn and nausea. I miss burritos most of all.

Watched this weeks episode last night. Thoughts??? I cant do the Fitz/Olivia thing, especially if its going to be on and off again. And I kinda miss Poppa Pope and . His. Way. Of. SPEAKING.

alexandrac86 · September 2015

Mass amounts of coffee. Half a pot in the morning and a loca mocha monster in the afternoon. I love my coffee.

I'm such a sucker for Fitz and Olivia, but if they go cold again I'm so over that drama! Shonda has toyed with my emotions too much, it's time to let them be. Kind of loving hardcore Fitz vs. Mellie regarding the divorce.

In other news, I keep worrying the Huck will hurt Olivia and I just can't take it.

asunna · September 2015

a cigerette and a glass of wine....oh god

wsgjmw1 · September 2015

Coffee in AM - Wine in the PM and NAPPPPPPPs

Bookhousegirl · September 2015

I wish it were socially acceptable to wear yoga pants to work. Also, wine, cocktails and being able to stay up past 9:15.

mrstmoose · September 2015

@yogahh I'm a Scandal freak too. I need Olivia and Fitz to be completely on or off. None of the in between stuff. And I love that Fitz stood up to Mellie.

dsmith211 · September 2015

Wine/beer and nap time for sure. I get the option to work from home up to 5 days a month and I had one recently. I took a nap during the day at lunch time and it was the greatest thing ever.

kbrands7 · September 2015

Nap time! Also, I would love to be able to wear lounge/stretchy pants to work and just walk out of the classroom when I need to pee or the teenagers get too annoying.

I actually like (smelly) Mellie. And I'm 100% team Jake. Scott Foley might be the sexiest man alive.

There just NEEDS to be a rule that pregnant teachers get to wear whatever they want and go when they please!!

THIS! I am team Jake all the way. Mellie is a complex character, but she has grown on me so much.

I love Scandal!

doozer1345 · September 2015

Actually throw up every time I'm nauseated and not work until my second trimester.

jessicalacey1226 · September 2015

Definitely no work while preggo!
Wine and sushi!

doozer1345 · September 2015

@kbrands7 you're welcome

TheThornBird · September 2015

Every night when I wake up at 3am with a full bladder, I wish I could just pee in bed and go back to sleep.

I'm sure eventually I will pee the bed and regret I ever said I wanted to.

FIFY

I wear scrubs as a uniform. They are so uncomfortable! and peeing between patients is not easy to do!

doozer1345 · September 2015

@TheThornBird my water broke while I was in bed. We had just gotten a new mattress with the 25 year warranty water proof mattress pad to go with it... I'm in love with that mattress pad! It saved my new mattress. I've got two now just so I can have one as back up.

Good adjustment! ALL pregnant women need to be able to just do whatever they want!

mhc13 · September 2015

Have a nanny to watch my toddler while I guzzle wine and take 3hr naps. Le sigh.

thismakes4 · September 2015

I wish all my kids would nap while I wanted to. And wake up when I wanted to also.

nerdymama15 · September 2015

On days when my feet are hurting badly (I have flat feet and spurs and a bad knee from a skating injury 12 years ago) I wish I could rent a handicap scooter and use it while running my errands without people judging me thinking I'm doing it just because I'm fat. It would make grocery shopping or shopping in general a lot easier.

Naps - although since I do work from home, I can totally try to take a nap on my break, but the bad part is I'm usually just starting to get comfortabel and doze off about the time my break is over.

(

Drink beer type drinks-- some days when the hormones are affecting my mood in a not so nice way, I'd love to just be able to throw back a cold one. I'm not much of a wine drinker unless it's like Arbor Mist or something that does not taste bad.

meagkayy4 · September 2015

I'd love a beer! I'm a SAHM to my 16 month old and have been napping with her regularly. I call it our nap time !

DutchLucyLu · September 2015

Eat all the rare beef. I NEED MAH BEEF. But I'll restrain myself. *sigh*

And since yesterday I want to sleep all the time. I could, technically, because I'm self-empoyed and things are slow at the moment, but I also want to start cleaning out my wardrobe and sorting out the stuff in the spare room/future nursery. I start a new job in three weeks and I really hope I'll be less exhausted by then (I'll just be in 2nd tri), but part of me also feels I should get all the naps now I still have the chance.

That's amazing...except we're not allowed to wear jeans--not even on Friday! : (

beff12 · September 2015

If I could sprinkle magic dust on my 14 month old and make her sleep whenever I wanted to nap (like 22 hours out of the day) that would be perfect. Also maybe move in to my own bedroom because I don't enjoy cuddling these days.
